Talk:Kameoka Hachimangū

Yanagawa Hachimangū
I have changed the popular culture section from... "Kameoka Hachimangū, under its brief Muromachi era alternate name of Yanagawa Hachimangū, appears as a setting in the GAINAX-produced anime Masamune Datenikuru. The deity Hachiman holds as collateral the soul of young Date Masamune, in a bid to prompt him toward courage and responsibility as the new Date lord." to... "Yanagawa Hachimangū in Date City, Fukushima appears as a setting in Masamune Datenikuru, an anime produced by the city in concert with GAINA.[6] The deity Hachiman holds as collateral the soul of young Date Masamune, in a bid to prompt him toward courage and responsibility as the new Date lord." My reason for doing so being that Date City produced the anime created by GAINA and have hosted stamp rally events in which people are asked to collect stamps at some of the locations seen in the anime, Yanagawa Hachiman Shrine included. Every location in the anime seems to be within the city. I don't see why this one would be different.

Also, I have no sources other than pamphlets from the local history museum in Date City, so I won't edit it into the article, but Yanagawa Hachiman Shrine was founded in 984. Then in 1190, as the article notes, Date Tomomune received the land, including the shrine and it became the clan's tutelary shrine at that time. This makes me believe the shrine in Sendai that the article is about probably was founded in 1719, as indicated in this sentence: "The 1719 text Ōū Kanseki Monrōshi, however, claims that the shrine was founded by Tomomune's son Munemura." However, Munemura, Tomomune's son and the 2nd head of the clan was not alive. I've changed this sentence to reference the 22nd head of the clan with the same name who lived in this century, but he would have only been one year old at the time.

Edit: I've changed the sentence back to "The 1719 text Ōū Kanseki Monrōshi, however, claims that the shrine was founded by Tomomune's son Munemura." since realizing that the original author probably meant that the shrine in Fukushima was thought to be founded by Tonomune's son Munemura, not, as I misunderstood, the shrine in Sendai.
